Morning all!
A little help, please. I have a Gateway DX4831-01e desktop (Processor is the I3-530@2.93GHz) in which I have upgraded the graphics card to an NVIDEA GE Force GT620 and the Hard Drive (which is now a WD Black 1TB).
First, I would like to add a second storage drive in the form of an SSD (tasked to the Windows 7x64 OS) in addition to my already upgraded HDD (which I wish to use strictly for data).
The second expansion slot is there (albeit a 3.5”).
Aside from the necessary 2.5 adapter is there anything to prevent me from throwing in an SSD as I wish? Can I do this? If so, I was planning on a Samsung or Intel in the 120-256 GB range. Any comments on size are welcome.
Second, my system says it is 8GB maximum in the existing (4) DDR3 slots. Currently it is 6GB.
Simply put, is 8GB truly the maximum and if so would the upgrade from 6 to 8 be worth it?
Computer is used for normal computing crap plus lightweight After Effects, Premiere Pro and Photoshop work.
Thanks in advance!
